Silent Hill F 100% Achievement Guide
Silent Hill F is a survival horror game with 56 steam achievements.

This guide contains several spoilers. If you haven’t finished the story yet, keep this in mind before reading further.

This guide is a work in progress, If you notice any errors, please let me know.

Run 0: Story Achievements - Normal ending - (optional: Missable - Collectible)
Play through the game once just to enjoy the story and get a feel of gameplay mechanics.
This will unlock several story achievements and the first ending: Coming Home to Roost.

Notes

• The Bird that Flies Highest missable achievement can only be unlocked during this ending.
  
• Some documents can only be retrieved on the first playthrough (non NG+) while other are only available in NG+1 and NG+2, if you're aiming to complete Fires of Jealousy and A Miko Possessed without having to redo additional runs, check out the Worship Hall sections.

Run 1 - NG+ - Missable - Collectible - Good, Bad and UFO endings
In NG+ select a different puzzle difficulty than your first run to progress toward challenge achievements.
Note that some missable achievements are tied to combat and may require multiple attempts. While Run 2 features the longest boss fights, your stats will likely be fully upgraded by then, so it could be wise to select a lower action difficulty if you prefer a less challenging run 1.

Use saves at key points to unlock three of the five endings in the same run: The Fox Wets Its Tail, Fox’s Wedding, and The Great Space Invasion!

Key save points:

• Just after the cutscene near the Chizuruya General Store while heading to Shu's house -> Reach The Great Space Invasion! then load back to continue your run. (see ending notes about missing a bonus weapon)
  
• While heading to Shimizu Residence, make a save before purifying the Sacred Sword -> Complete The Fox Wets Its Tail, then load back, purify the Sacred Sword and finish the game with the Fox's Wedding ending.

Note:

• Guidance is provided to unlock several ending within the "same" run. Given how Silent Hill’s saving system tracks which endings you’ve reached, this means that on your final save after Run 2, you may be missing either The Fox Wets Its Tail or Fox’s Wedding and The Great Space Invasion! endings, even if the related achievements are unlocked.
  This may cause some content, like the PP-8001 (unlockable in any NG+ after completing The Great Space Invasion! ending), to be unavailable. If this is a concern, you can restart Run 1 after reaching the UFO ending (which occurs early, before Ebisugaoka Middle School) and skip the collectibles on that first UFO run.

Run 2: NG+2 - Missable - Challenges - True Ending
In NG+2, select both puzzle and fighting difficulty based on your challenge completion progress, this run will unlock the Ebisugaoka in Silence ending. During this run, you’ll have the chance to unlock certain missable achievements such as Close to the Sun and Omamori Collector.

Run 3: NG+ - Wrapping up
If missing any achievements (e.g The Bird that Flies Highest that requires Coming Home to Roost which would occurs on first playthrough

Achievements listed below will unlock during your first playthrough.

Select a different puzzle difficulty on each new run, as these do not stack for the achievement.
Beating the game once on Lost in the Fog (Action difficulty) will unlock all Action challenge achievements.

Notes:

• Dying multiple times on Hard or Lost in the Fog action difficulty may trigger a prompt to lower the difficulty. Selecting ‘Yes’ will void the related action difficulty achievement(s).
  
• UFO ending won't trigger any challenge achievements.

The achievements below are listed in the order they can be obtained during any playthrough, even if some are tied to specific endings.

Note: Collectibles do not need to be obtained in a single playthrough. Progress carries over (e.g., Seals opened in NG+1 are still counted as open in NG+2) for achievements.

Note: If the Sacred Sword was obtained in previous playthrough, it can be obtained at the second Jizo Statue without having to redo the offerings.

This is the first ending you’ll unlock upon completing the game for the first time. On subsequent playthroughs, there are no special requirements to achieve this ending other than avoiding the The Great Space Invasion! ending and taking at least one red pill (to invalidate other endings).

Note that a missable achievement is tied to this ending:

There are 3 requirements for this ending

• Must be attempted on save that already had Coming Home to Roost ending
  
• Not taking any red capsules
  
• Obtain the Unpurified Sacred Sword

Note that a missable achievement is tied to this ending:

The Fox Wets Its Tail shares a few achievements with the Fox's Wedding ending (you’ll unlock them on your first attempt at either of these two endings).


To obtain the Sacred Sword on any NG+ playthrough, you must bring 5 offerings to Jizo Statues in Ebisugaoka.

First offering can be done at the start of the game (or at the end while going back to Hinako's house if like me, you forgot to give the offering).

Second offering can be completed while going to Rinko's house.

Third offering can be completed while going to Ebisugaoka Middle School.

Fourth offering can be completed while going to Shu's house.

Fifth offering can be completed while going to Shimizu Residence.

Once all 5 offerings are completed, Hinako will mention going to the Divine Tree to retrieve a treasure.
A cutscene will play when approaching the Thousand Year Cedar, giving you the Sacred Sword.

Sacred Sword will be available at second Jizo Statue.

There are 4 requirements for this ending

• Must be attempted on save that already had Coming Home to Roost ending
  
• Not taking any red capsules
  
• Either purify or do not retrieve the Sacred Sword
  
• Obtain the Agura no Hotei-sama

Note that a missable achievement is tied to this ending:

Fox's Wedding shares a few achievements with the The Fox Wets Its Tail ending (you’ll unlock them on your first attempt at either of these two endings).

If you choose to acquire the Sacred Sword (optional, see The Fox Wets Its Tail section), you’ll need to purify it, which will reward you:
Obtaining the Agura no Hotei-sama will unlock:

During Main Hall, complete the Crimson Water puzzle to unlock the option to purify the Sacred Sword.
Interact with the stone near the pond, then activate the following bells in rhythm with the Shishi-odoshi (bamboo water device) as it strikes the ground:

• Earth / Mountain (up the stairs, near the building where you can find the Agura no Hotei-sama)
  
• Water (Near the rock)
  
• Wood (On the bridge)

Once completed, the water will turn crimson, unlocking the option to purify the Sacred Sword later on.

If you didn't take it already, the Agura no Hotei-sama can be found upstairs (near the Earth / Mountain bell) on the table.
You'll then need to go to the destroyed shrine while heading to Shimizu Residence and interact with the Pool of Blood.

The Great Space Invasion! ending will end the game before Ebisugaoka Middle School . Reaching this end and not saving it to start a NG+ (i.e with the ending saved as reached on save) will lock you out a bonus weapon (PP-8001).

There are 4 requirements for this ending

• Must be attempted on save that already had Coming Home to Roost ending
  
• Listen to the UFO radio broadcast (be sure to hear it in its entirety before moving on)
  
• Find 3 movie posters of The Great Space Invasion in order
  
• Locate The Great Space Invasion movie review

Note that there's an opportunity for missable achievement while completing this ending:


Near the start of the game, while your objective is set to Avoid the monsters and move ahead there’s a hidden UFO radio broadcast located near the canal.

First poster can be obtained while heading towards Rinko's house (before Ara-Abare boss fight with the well)
Poster 2 and 3 are obtained while going to Shu's house after Rinko's house cutscene.
Make sure not to enter the house shortly after Rinko opens a passage through a wall as this will prevent backtracking to obtain poster 3 and access to the Chizuruya General Store.

Once the above is completed, head to the Chizuruya General Store, where a mini-boss fight awaits. Killing all monsters in the zone will grant you the Go away you'll ruin the Shop’s Reputation! achievement.
Interacting with the flying saucer on the table outside the store after the fight will trigger The Great Space Invasion! ending.

There are 4 requirements for this ending

• Must be attempted on save that already had 2 endings (The Great Space Invasion! does not count towards it)
  
• Not taking any red capsules
  
• Obtain and purify the Sacred Sword (should be available at second Jinzo Statue)
  
• Offered the Brooch

Offering the Brooch will unlock the A Gift I Cannot Accept achievement.

Note that a missable achievement is tied to this ending:

See The Fox Wets Its Tail ending about how to retrieve and purify the Sacred Sword.

While on the way to the Shimizu Residence, you’ll come across a Jizo Statue where you can offer the Brooch. This will unlock A Gift I Cannot Accept achievement.
